Hello again, Original problem (seems it also happened to me): "Using a 'Compaq PS2 Keyboard (2K - 3)' and WinXP, and although the volume control continued to work, I lost the volume bars that move across the screen just above the taskbar when increasing or decreasing the volume (using the volume buttons on said keyboard)"
Solution: I stand corrected, we'll call them Volume "lines" above the taskbar. And as I said, trial and error will solve the problem; and it did. In my effort to streamline the operation of the computer, having heard that the fewer programs you have opening in the Startup as shown in "misconfig" > Startup, I had unchecked "HPBootOp" (stands for HPBoot Optimizer) It is found in C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Boot Optimizer. And now having re-checked HPBootOp, the volume lines are again appearing. Currently now, all I have checked in that Startup is Rundll32, zlclient, avgcc, avgemc, HPBootOp, and two more that keep re-checking themselves: Realsched and ctfmon. Anything else I need, I use shortcut keys ... and the Start menu if necessary. I know this is a small matter in the scheme of things; in the general condition of world politics and our current immigration predicament ... it's so gratifying to find solutions to little computer glitches. --- Harold ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
